The importance of washing produce
Tip of the Week
Rinse fresh vegetables and fruits under running water just before eating, cutting, or cooking. Even if you plan to peel or cut the produce before eating, it is important to thoroughly rinse it first to prevent microbes from transferring from the outside to the inside of the produce.

Food Quiz
Poi, a traditional starchy dish eaten in Hawaii, is made from what root vegetable?
A. Daikon
B. Taro
C. Rutabaga
Answer at bottom of blog post.
Word to the Wise
Daikon is an Asian radish with a sweet and spicy flavor. It is an essential ingredient in Asian cooking and the most popular vegetable in Japan. The literal translation from the Japanese is "big root." The most common variety of daikon, however, looks like a turnip or white carrot, and that's probably the kind you'll find near the fresh ginger in the grocery store produce aisle.

Today's Music: The Sword – Arrows In The Dark
Note on Today's Post: This has been taking up real estate in my head for too long, so I thought I'd let it out. Gonna need a better title though…
New Zealand
The camera dollies slowly through the FOREST. The lush landscape of the forest is alive in hues of green and brown, sun dappling through the leaves casting light on the forest floor. The dolly continues as the camera slowly pans right. The lens begins to zoom in, catching insects and birds moving along the trees and through the air.
As the dolly continues, the camera closes on a juncture of BRANCHES and zooms in
They say that everything is interconnected, that all events flow into each other, affect other events and are affected by them.
The camera zooms in tightly to the juncture where we see a COCOON, It is shaking on the branches, a small rift appearing at the front bulge. A pair of antennae, followed by a long body and bright WINGS appears.
That something as simple as the flap of the wings of a butterfly here can stir the winds of a hurricane there.
The BUTTERFLY emerges and flies off. It's brightly colored WINGS sparkle in the flashes of sunlight. The camera follows its irregular flight, wavering between close and medium distance
It flaps its wings rapidly, enough thrust to lift its body through the air, pushing it against currents, pressure, eddies…
A powerful THRUST and we see the force of the small SWIRL OF AIR. The butterfly leaves the frame of the camera which continues onward, following the swirl of air.
Some LEAVES fall together, wafting in one direction. The SWIRL nudges one, pushing it in a different direction. The camera follows the swirl to the edge of the island and across the water.
Once it has begun, the stir from the wings of that butterfly take on a life of its own. It travels free, picking up momentum, affecting what it runs into…
We see WHITECAPS moving with the current. As the SWIRL intersects, one breaks off, moving away at a different angle, pushed by the swirl.
The force of nature, the inexorable, inevitable push and pull, back and forth of different forces competing, opposing, uniting drives on and grow in the strength of its cycle…
The WHITECAP and SWIRL are entwined, dancing around each other. They grow in strength and frenzy. Other SWIRLS join, other WHITECAPS come in. They push against each other, unite and break away. The camera pulls back to a longer shot so we can see the pattern, whipping around faster and faster, reaching up from the waves to the sky
They say the wings of a butterfly someplace can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world.
The view zooms in to a tight shot. The WIND howls and the WAVES crash over and over on each other, stronger and stronger, more and more furiously until-
They're full of shit. Butterflies don't cause hurricanes…
The camera speeds back in a birds-eye shot as the WIND and WATER crash into a cliff and splash back to the surface. The camera continues up to the side of a cliff…and a MAN on a MOTORCYCLE looking down. The camera slows, still rising above him as he looks down at the settling water.
Camera changes to medium shot on his bald head. He lifts his head from watching the water and we see a SNEER on his lips beneath his SUNGLASSES. Zipping the BEAT UP LEATHER JACKET over his FADED JEANS and MOTORCYCLE BOOTS, he kicks the motorcycle to life, revs the engine and speeds away. The camera focuses on the SWIRL from his exhaust
Butterflies don't cause hurricanes.
I do.
Upward angle shot of MAN riding away.

July 26, 2007
BY JIM DeROGATIS POP
Like that band's leader, Lou Reed,
in recent years, Cave has been much more restrained in doling out the
unabashed noise and unbridled lust, adopting an almost professorial persona
-- as befits a musician who's also a published poet, playwright and novelist
-- while leading the at-times regally orchestral Bad Seeds.
Grinderman, the singer and songwriter's new side project with Bad Seeds
violinist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn Casey and drummer Jim Sclavunos, is
the soon-to-be 50-year-old Cave's attempt to reconnect with the most primal,
abrasive and purely sexual elements of the Birthday Party, as well as the
mysterious clatter that first fired his imagination as a randy and
eager-to-be-misled teen. And on Grinderman's self-titled debut album and at
a sold-out show at Metro on Wednesday, he succeeded beyond the most
terrifying nightmare of any parent, preacher or police official.
Sporting an absurd new handlebar mustache and skeletally gaunt as ever,
Cave opened by repeatedly declaring ''I am the Grinderman'' -- part boast,
part threat and part prayer -- while his equally hirsute bandmates unleashed
dynamic bursts of rhythmic dissonance behind him.
So it went through a short but sublimely punishing 10-song, 70-minute set
that found Cave growlingly introducing us to bizarre characters such as
''Electric Alice'' and ''Depth Charge Ethel''; bemoaning his immature but
somehow endearing sexual frustrations in songs such as ''Go Tell the Women''
and the mind-blowing ''No [Sex] Blues''; pulling things back just a little
for the organ-driven lament ''Man on the Moon,'' then letting loose the bats
of hell during furious stompers such as ''Get It On'' and ''Honey Bee (Let's
Fly to Mars).''
The essence of Grinderman's power was the overwhelming noise guitar,
delivered by two men, Ellis and Cave, who aren't really guitarists. (Cave
never played the instrument before this album.) But the frenzy wouldn't have
been nearly as effective without the rhythm section's control of the
grooves, the unexpected melodic hooks in the midst of all the ugliness and
Cave's wickedly vicious sense of humor permeating it all.
''I bought her a dozen snow-white doves/I did her dishes in rubber
gloves/I called her Honeybee, I called her Love/But she just still didn't
want to,'' Cave sang, shaking with pent-up frustration during ''No [Sex]
Blues,'' quite possibly the best ''I Can't Get No'' song since the Rolling
Stones' ''Satisfaction.''
''She just never wants to,'' Grinderman's leader added, before
those guitars found the release he couldn't with an explosion of noise to
rival the Velvets' ''I Heard Her Call My Name.''
In the end, after an equally riveting encore that included grinderized
versions of the Bad Seeds songs ''Red Right Hand'' and ''The Weeping Song,''
my ears were ringing, my throat was aching, my head was pounding and
absolutely everything was as right as it could be in the rock 'n' roll

Another busy hurricane season, say forecasters
Get ready for another busy hurricane season, maybe unusually wild, federal forecasters say.
Their prediction Thursday calls for 13 to 20 named Atlantic storms, seven to 11 that strengthen into hurricanes and three to six that become major hurricanes.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said there is a 70 percent chance that this year will be more active than an average hurricane season.
If you live in hurricane-prone areas along the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico coasts, "This is your warning," acting NOAA administrator Kathryn Sullivan said.
A normal year has 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major storms with winds over 110 mph.
Last year was the third-busiest on record with 19 named storms.
Ten became hurricanes and were two major storms. That included Sandy, which caused $50 billion in damage even though it lost hurricane status when it made landfall in New Jersey.
All the factors that go into hurricane forecasts are pointing to an active season, or extremely active one, said lead forecaster Gerry Bell of the Climate Prediction Center.
Those factors include: warmer than average ocean waters that provide fuel for storms, a multi-decade pattern of increased hurricane activity, the lack of an El Nino warming of the central Pacific Ocean, and an active pattern of storm systems coming off west Africa.
The Atlantic hurricane season goes through about 25 to 40 year cycles of high activity and low activity. The high activity period started around 1995, Sullivan said.
The forecasts don't include where storms might land, if any place.
Despite the formation of more hurricanes recently, the last time a major hurricane made landfall in the United States was Wilma in 2005. That seven-year stretch is the longest on record.
The six-month season starts June 1. Forecasters name tropical storms when their top winds reach 39 mph; hurricanes have maximum winds of at least 74 mph.
This year's names: Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dorian, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van and Wendy.

Childress, TX Traffic Tickets
Childress Lawyers That Lift Warrants
Childress traffic warrants are no problem for us! We can post an attorney bond to lift (remove) the Childress traffic warrant for your arrest and set your case for a court hearing.
Has a Childress traffic warrant for your arrest already been issued? If so, you could be arrested and taken to jail. Whether you simply forgot to take care of a recent traffic ticket before the deadline passed, or you have outstanding Childress traffic warrants from months, or even years ago, we can take care of them all. Call the Law Office of Todd E. Tkach now for your free consultation.
After you receive a traffic ticket, you only have a few days to either pay the ticket or set it for a court hearing. If you fail to do either, a Childress traffic warrant for your arrest will be issued. In that event, you cannot resolve that traffic ticket with the court unless and until you do one of the following two things: 1) pay the maximum fine amount for the ticket; or 2) post a cash bond in an amount equal to the maximum fine amount plus court costs! Neither of those options is advisable. If you simply pay the ticket, not only are you paying the highest fine possible for that particular ticket, but you are convicted of the charge, which means it will go on your driving record. Posting a cash bond can also be problematic. The amount of the cash bond will be equal to the maximum possible fine for that ticket, plus an additional amount for court costs. The cash necessary for that bond will be several hundred dollars. The Court holds your cash until you resolve your traffic ticket, which could take several months.
Dangerous Myths About Ticket Warrants That Could Land You In Jail
Let me suggest an alternative. Keep your cash and protect your driving record! For a nominal fee, hire Todd E. Tkach to post an attorney bond, lift the Childress traffic warrant and go to court to fight for a dismissal of the traffic ticket.
Types of Childress Traffic Warrants
Generally, there are two types of Childress traffic warrants for municipal citations; Alias warrants and Capias warrants.
Alias Warrants
Alias warrants go into effect after you receive a traffic citation if, before your appearance date, you fail to either: 1) pay your traffic citation; or 2) request a court hearing. After the Childress traffic warrant is issued, if you are stopped, for any reason, you are subject to arrest. Are you in this situation now? Do you have outstanding Alias warrants? Call attorney Todd E. Tkach now! We can post an attorney bond to lift the Childress traffic warrant for your arrest and set your case for hearing. At the hearing, we strive for a dismissal of the charge(s) against you. If a dismissal can't be obtained, we'll aggressively negotiate to obtain the best possible result for you.
Capias Warrants
Capias warrants are issued when you fail to comply with a plea agreement that you entered into regarding a previous citation. It may be that you agreed to pay a certain fine within a certain time and to not get any other traffic citations within a certain time period. Failure to comply with any part of that agreement will result in a Capias warrant being issued for your arrest. In this situation, it's probably too late for us to be able to help. You must either pay the fine or remain subject to arrest at any time.
Childress Traffic Warrant Roundups
From time to time, anywhere from two (2) to four (4) times per year, most cities and municipalities in the Dallas and Ft. Worth metroplex conduct traffic warrant roundups. What is a traffic warrant roundup? This is when cities and jurisdictions devise and implement plans to actively pursue the arrest of anyone who has outstanding traffic warrants for traffic citations. However, some jurisdictions don't bother with traffic warrant roundups, but rather have a year-round program to actively arrest anyone with outstanding traffic warrants from that jurisdiction. If you think this can't happen to you, think again! Many times, we have posted attorney bonds to bail people out of jail who had outstanding Childress traffic warrants who were arrested during routine traffic stops, at work or at home. Law enforcement officers do not discriminate when it comes to outstanding traffic warrants. They will show up at the homes and/or workplaces of anyone who has outstanding Childress traffic warrants, and arrest them. Don't let this happen to you!

Ticket Warrant Roundups Are Like the Old West
Getting Yourself Arrested for a Ticket Warrant Is Expensive
Getting arrested on an outstanding warrant for an unpaid ticket is the most expensive way to resolve your traffic ticket! First, you will have to bond yourself out of jails with a cash bond for the full amount owed. Second, you will face the highest amount of the fine, known as the "window rate." Thirdly, you will face additional fees for court costs and the collection expense of arresting you. Fourth, if you were pulled over while driving and arrested, your car might be impounded and you might face towing and impound fees to get your car back. Finally, you could also face significant State of Texas surcharges. Plus, you will lose more money from the resulting time away from work, plus the embarrassment of being arrested. This is the worst and most expensive of all possible outcomes.
If you have one or more outstanding warrants for your arrest for unpaid traffic tickets, there are much more favorable outcomes possible that will cost less and eliminate the additional hassle.
Todd E. Tkach Can Lift Your Warrant
Let me suggest an alternative. Keep your cash and protect your driving record! For a nominal fee, hire attorney Todd E. Tkach, to post an attorney bond, lift the warrant and go to court to fight for a dismissal of the traffic ticket. The process is very easy and quick. All you have to do is sign a bond form for us to process and file with the court. You don't even have to go to court, unless you want to. We'll take care of everything and will promptly notify you of the court result. Just call us at 214-999-0595 to talk with one of our courteous staff members.

When Time Matters
When you're sitting in jail for an unpaided traffic ticket, time really matters. When your traffic ticket is about to go into warrant within days or hours, time still matters. The day you get a traffic ticket, time should begin to matter. You have a limited amount of time to get your violation handled at the lowest cost and with the least amount of hassle. You need an experience traffic ticket attorney to get the best possible outcome. When time matters.
Don't "just pay" your ticket or fight it alone!
Going either can cost you money and result in a conviction on your record. Get the help of an experience traffic ticket attorney.

No contact between sides in hockey fight
NEW YORK - NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Friday that he is out of ideas how to get negotiations back on track to save the hockey season.
Talks fell apart on Thursday night amid back-and-forth accusations, and the fallout was still being felt Friday. The two sides had no contact with each other on the 83rd day of the owners' lockout of players.
"I have no reason, nor any intention, of reaching out to the union right now," Daly said in an email to The Associated Press. "I have no new ideas. Maybe they do. We are happy to listen."
If the players do have a suggestion, they haven't offered it yet. Their most recent proposal was turned down quickly on Thursday by the NHL, which wanted a yes or no answer on three specific conditions the league said were non-negotiable. When the union tried to bargain the points, the meeting ended abruptly.
That has left the NHL's labor situation in limbo.
All games have been canceled through Dec. 14, which is only a week away, so more games will surely be wiped off the schedule soon. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday that he won't allow a season to be played that contains fewer than 48 games per team - the length of the season that was played after a lockout ended in January 1995.
If there isn't a resolution soon, Sidney Crosby appears ready to find a place to play elsewhere.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star wants to get back to work. He said Friday the prospect of lacing up his skates in Europe is growing more appealing as the lockout nears the three-month mark. The breakdown in negotiations left Crosby "disappointed" and considering other opportunities.
"I just want to play hockey," Crosby told reporters after an informal workout with some of his teammates on Friday morning. "As far as whatever option is best there, I'll start thinking of it a lot more because this stuff is getting ridiculous."
Crosby was part of the players' negotiating team over three days in New York until the talks fell apart Thursday.
With no deal in the works, Crosby took a late-night flight back to Pittsburgh wondering what else the players could have done to move things along.
The lockout has become another setback in a maddening two years for the game's most popular player. The 2007 NHL MVP and 2010 Olympic gold medalist has been limited to just 28 games since January 2011 due to a series of debilitating concussions. He is healthy now and signed a 12-year contract extension last summer that would keep him in Pittsburgh until his late-30s.
Yet instead of focusing on getting the Penguins back to the Stanley Cup finals, Crosby has spent the last three months trying to help salvage at least part of the season. The last NHL lockout resulted in the 2004-05 season getting wiped out.
"The foundation (for a deal) is there and I don't think we can move any more," Crosby said. "We've done everything from our side to make this work"
Though any foreign team that signs Crosby would also have to take out an expensive insurance policy, Crosby maintains playing overseas - where dozens of NHL players are keeping sharp, including Penguins teammate Evgeni Malkin - is a "practical" alternative.
"I think I've tried to be optimistic and things like that and given it every chance possible," Crosby said. "But I've got make sure I keep playing hockey. I haven't played for a while."

Letters: January/February 2013
Reader Questions Cost-Effectiveness of Weather Stripping
Energy savings based on engineering models do not have a good track record for accuracy, tending to overestimate savings in real buildings. While the authors don't explain how their savings numbers were derived, other information in the article suggests these savings are not measured, but are based on some sort of engineering model (see "Weather-Stripping Windows with V-Strip," Sept/Oct '12, p. 38).
One might question some of the assumptions used in this study. The authors acknowledge that their estimate of HDD (heating degree-days) for Ithaca might be on the high side and I agree, but the more important assumption, which I suspect many will take issue with, is their cost of natural gas—$1.50 per therm. Gas prices were headed in that direction a few years back, but now, with markets being flooded with gas from shale fracking, that assumed cost is less defensible. While these factors are important and raise serious questions as to the cost-effectiveness of this weatherization measure, they miss the main point—the big lesson learned over the last 30 years that prompts me to write this letter.
The "natural infiltration rate" is based on blower door readings; the authors report an average infiltration reduction of 314 CFM50 per house. While I do not doubt the accuracy of their blower door numbers, it's a huge leap to go from CFM50 to actual infiltration. Whether one divides by 20 or by some factor gleaned from the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory infiltration model is not the issue. The issue, and the reason why a reduction in CFM50 does not correlate terribly well with energy savings, is much more basic.
A blower door provides an excellent measurement of the sum total of the air leaks in a house when the house is subject to a driving force—a pressure difference between inside and out—of 50 Pa. This blower door reading, however, provides no information about the location of this infiltration. Exactly where are these air leaks the blower door is measuring? It matters. Why? Because holes and cracks in a building's envelope don't leak (infiltrate or exfiltrate) any air unless these holes are exposed to a driving force—an air pressure difference that causes air to move across the holes. No air pressure difference across the holes means no air leakage. No air leakage means no savings when these holes are sealed.
So what are the air pressure driving forces of concern in a one- or two-story single-family home? There's wind, which gets folks' attention when it blows, but it doesn't blow that hard or for long in most locations. There are air pressure differences resulting from unbalanced forced-air systems—very important for health and safety and moisture reasons, but not a major factor in most houses. Finally, and most importantly, there's stack effect, the air pressure differences resulting from the density difference between heated air inside a house and cold air outside. In a typical house, stack effect results in air pressures at the top of the house that are positive with reference to (wrt) the outside and air pressures that are negative wrt the outside at the bottom.
Approximately halfway between the top and bottom of the house, we find the neutral pressure plane (NPP), where there is no air pressure difference between inside and out. How much air will be lost through infiltration or exfiltration across holes and cracks at or near the NPP? Not much at all. No pressure difference, no driving force, no air leakage. In a single-story house with double-hung windows, where's the crack that is being carefully sealed by weather-stripping? Pretty close to the NPP. How much energy does sealing cracks that aren't leaking much air save? Not much at all.
Another important piece of the puzzle is that these cracks around windows are tiny compared to the ones near the top of the house that are out of sight to the untrained eye—the very large holes that are typically found up in attics, at the intersections between walls and ceilings, under knee walls separating conditioned spaces from supposedly unconditioned side attics, and the myriad of other locations that those in the low-income weatherization program have learned to find and seal.
Two energy evaluation studies performed more than 20 years ago that I authored or coauthored back up the above assertions with actual measured savings in large samples of houses. The first was an evaluation of energy savings in homes receiving energy conservation measures (ECMs) under a program in Indiana (Hill, 1990). Forty of the homes in that study with reliable pre- and postconsumption data had installed replacement windows and no other ECM. Average savings in those 40 homes? Only 1.4%, worth about $8 per year at the then-prevailing natural-gas cost of $0.50 per therm. Why were the savings so small? First, most of windows being replaced also had wood storm windows, a system that provides a pretty good R-value. Second, and most relevant to the topic at hand, while the replacement windows were certainly more airtight than the old windows and storms they replaced, the air leakage reduction wasn't that important because it was near or at the NPP.
The second evaluation study, done with colleagues at Virginia Tech (Randolph, Greely, and Hill, 1991), looked at homes in Virginia's weatherization program in 1988–89, prior to the training we provided that would fundamentally change their approach to weatherization. In 1988 and '89, Virginia crews were using blower doors and achieving large reductions in whole-house air leakage, mostly with weather strip and caulk—lots and lots of caulk! The median savings being achieved for the 188 houses in the final reliable sample? Only 6.5 site MBtu/yr (6%) for gas-heated homes and 1.5 site MBtu/yr (4%) for electrically heated homes. There are two data points from this study particularly relevant to the topic at hand. First, houses that received infiltration reduction work only (weather stripping, caulking, window and door repair) showed no energy savings. Second, the median infiltration reduction, as measured by blower door CFM50 readings, was 39% for the sample of 62 site-built homes for which we had data. That is, lots of caulking and weather-stripping resulted in large CFM50 reductions but little or no energy savings. Why? Because the air leaks being sealed were small leaks at or near the NPP, not the large holes near the top of bottom of the house that mattered.
In summary, I doubt that weather-stripping windows in one- and two-story homes is ever going to be cost-effective in terms of energy savings, except perhaps for a house on a very windy and exposed site. There are, however, thermal-comfort benefits to be had from weather-stripping the window next to your favorite chair or kitchen table. Fix those windows, don't bother with the others, and let's all let go of the notion that weather-stripping is a good way of saving energy in single-family homes.

Coauthor Iain Shapiro replies:
Professor Hill's comments on the V-strip weather stripping article are interesting, especially the findings of his study that show that infiltration reduction through weather-stripping windows and doors does not produce energy savings. However, I do not share his conclusion that weather-stripping is ineffective. Professor Hill dismisses wind as a factor in infiltration; however, authoritative studies show that wind indeed has an effect on infiltration and cannot be neglected. He also dismisses infiltration induced by forced-air system pressure imbalances, but here again, studies have shown that imbalance-induced infiltration is often significant. Finally, he states that we are left with stack effect, which he dismisses as negligible at typical window locations.
Whenever I crack open a first-floor window in winter in just about any house, I can feel stack effect airflow in through all the windows. Further, neither of the two studies that Professor Hill cites focuses specifically on weather-stripping alone. The first is a study of replacement windows; it does not discuss pre- and postreplacement infiltration. The second is a weatherization study in a relatively mild climate, and again, the focus is not limited to weather stripping. (Professor Hill says that the crews in this study used "lots and lots of caulk." Maybe the study should have concluded that caulking is ineffective?) This study was also conducted on homes in Virginia, which is a fairly mild climate, compared to the northern United States, where infiltration reduction makes more sense. In such a mild climate, it might be possible for analysts to miss heating savings in the noise of utility bills.
Professor Hill closes by saying that there are thermal-comfort benefits to be had by weather-stripping the window next to your favorite chair or kitchen table. The only thermal-comfort benefits derived from weather-stripping are, in fact, reduced infiltration. I doubt that any such improved comfort would be felt if the reduced infiltration were less than 1–2 CFM (natural) per window. Multiply that by the 20 or so windows in a typical house, and you're right at the infiltration reduction that we measured with blower door tests.
In response to Professor Hill's other questions: Savings were estimated just as he suggests, with a simple heating degree-day calculation, which I agree may be slightly high. Likewise, I agree that our cost of natural gas at $1.50 per therm is on the high side relative to recent drops in gas prices. But as we note, our estimated hourly labor rate of over $50 per hour is fairly significantly on the high side, and offsets possible overestimation of savings in calculating SIRs.
Preliminary results for energy savings on one of the six houses we treated show that energy savings are indeed delivered. In the spring of 2013 we will have data on the other five houses. So we are left with a conundrum: Professor Hill concludes that we should not weather-strip windows because blower door tests overpredict savings for windows and doors, because they are close to the neutral pressure plane. We conclude that, yes, weather-stripping windows is highly cost-effective, when plastic V-strip is used. As we move into an era when the stakes will be higher to achieve substantial energy reduction, the answers to these questions are too important to draw simple conclusions. At the very least, more information is warranted and welcome.
Transition for a Hero of Weatherization
As many of you are aware, Eunice Herren retired from the Washington State Department of Commerce after 12 years with the agency at the end of October 2012. Eunice became the first tribal liaison for the weatherization program six years ago.
Eunice's personal experience with Native American culture proved invaluable as we explored ways to increase service delivery to Native American households, especially those living in Indian Country. Eunice brought passion and commitment to the position, as well as a calm determination to guide and facilitate both tribal entities and local agencies for better coordination and collaboration. She developed our first tribal weatherization program, coordinated innovative competitive proposals, built a strong foundation for serving Native American households, and provided technical assistance and quality improvements along the way. (See "Taking Weatherization to Native Americans in Washington State," p. 40.)
We are pleased to announce that Donn Falconer has been working with Eunice and transitioning into the weatherization tribal liaison position after Eunice's retirement. Donn has been with the Department of Commerce for three years in our Compliance Monitoring section. Donn was chosen for this role based on his experience working with the tribes, our local weatherization agencies, and his technical expertise.
Please join us in thanking Eunice for her invaluable contributions to statewide weatherization services and welcome Donn to his new role.

Food for Thought: Delight friends with unique eats this holiday
The holidays are a magical time to celebrate with family and friends. Whether it's the first snowfall or a gift from a loved one, the season inspires us to celebrate and be merry. It's also a time when holiday hosts and hostesses are eager for entertaining inspiration.
Entertaining isn't effortless, but there are simple ways to host a festive time to remember. Here are a few tips and tricks to make the most of each occasion:
Decorate with simplicity. Keep holiday decor quick and easy. Fill a decorative bowl with ornaments for a pop of color. Drape garlands in unexpected places, tie big bows on furniture and dangle bells on doorknobs. Most importantly, let the party decor reflect your style.
Illuminate the setting. Make a show-stopping centerpiece for the dinner table by filling a hurricane vase with water, add cranberries and evergreen sprigs and top with floating candles. Warm lighting is an affordable, handmade detail sure to set a festive mood.
Improvise space. Avoid kitchen traffic jams by designating separate spaces for drinks and food. Lay a cloth runner on a table behind a couch and line it with cocktail napkins and small plates. Set up folding chairs and arrange furniture to provide extra room for guests to mingle.
Surprise your guests. Delight everyone with a unique sweet treat. Try a different spin on snacking, like Pringles Crisps Holiday Flavors in Cinnamon & Sugar and White Chocolate Peppermint. Slip a can of these limited edition Pringles crisps into a gift bag or simply top the lid with a bow.
Start a tradition. Creating traditions provides lasting memories the whole group will cherish. Before dinner, have every individual share their favorite memories from years past. Play a classic game like charades as a group or candidly take a quirky group photo with props. Fun activities will give guests something to look forward to each year.

Tip of the Week: Cut the fat
Use canola oil to replace all or a portion of shortening and butter in the recipe, in order to reduce saturated fat in cakes, cupcakes, cookies and muffins. To cut total fat, use applesauce or nonfat Greek style yogurt for a portion of the oill in a recipe. Limit fat reduction to no more than 50 percent to help keep the recipe texture close to that of the original.

Wise to the Word: Mizuna
Mizuna is a Japanese salad green from the Bassica rapa family that is often found in mesclun. Dark green and feathery in appearance, with jagged edges similar to arugula, it has a delicate mustardy flavor.
Mizuna has been cultivated in Japan since ancient times and is thought to have originated in China. It can also be cut into a chiffonade and added to soups at the last minute, as it will wilt from the heat of the liquid.

Bloomberg Sports Top-Five 2012 MLB Home Run Projections
Bloomberg Sports Anchor Rob Shaw discusses the top five players that Bloomberg Sports projects to lead the Majors in home runs this season.
On that short list includes recent Tigers acquisition Price Fielder, who will still have plenty of support in his lineup, this time with perennial MVP candidate Miguel Cabrera providing the big bat. BloombergSports.com projects 35 home runs and 111 RBI from the newly acquired slugger.
Next, we see young slugger Mike Stanton approaching the 40-home run club with the Miami Marlins. He will also have the benefit of Jose Reyes leading off. In total, expect 39 round-trippers and 112 RBI from the 22-year-old slugger.
Bloomberg Sports projects a bounce back from Orioles third baseman Mark Reynolds. The free-swinging Orioles third baseman is projected to offer a low average but plenty of power. The only threat to his output is the possibility of spending time on the pine if his batting average creeps below the Mendoza line.
Second on the list is Blue Jays star right-fielder Jose Bautista. One of the elite hitters over the last two seasons, Bautista should regress in batting average, but the power is real and 41 home runs and 115 RBI is a realistic total in the hitter-friendly Rogers Centre.
Finally, even with a move to Anaheim, Albert Pujols should be just fine as we project him to lead the Majors in home runs. In fact, Pujols is expected to improve on last year's average and 41 home runs and 124 RBI explain why he's usually considered the best player in baseball.

Because she was hospitalized, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, made an early announcement about their baby. CNN's Max Foster reports.
Post by: Max Foster
Filed under: England • Royals
Hyperemesis gravidarum is one of a long list of womens' health issues that are poorly researched, rarely discussed, ignored, overlooked, and disregarded by a male-dominated health care system. In addition to that topic, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, post-hysterectomy hormone replacement therapy standards, uterine fibroids, and nearly every type of female genital cancer knowledge and treatment isn't any further advanced, today, than where it was 30 years ago. The "War on Women" occurs within every dimension of health care, just as it does within the realm of reproductive health. I've had a front row seat to the "show" and it's horrifying to see just how antiquated the knowledge base and treatment practices are.
Amen to J.D. Station's reply ! I have hyperemesis 20 yrs. ago – and no improvements have been made to aid these women. You are so sick, so helpless – you want to die. I was hospitalized three times and they kept saying "oh this will pass." Your fine. No compassion. I layed in bed and crawled to the toilet – unable to even walk (so nauseated) – but after "six months" – yes 6 months, I did regain my normal life and had a beautiful baby girl. Believe me, I never got pregnant again. Like I said, this much later – and nothing can be done but giving her hydration – that is ridiculous ! Women have specialty needs for their type of bodies and conditions – they need to be addressed! Cindy in Houston
Let's hope the publicity of the Princess being hospitalized for this illness brings attention to a terrible illness being experienced by many pregnant women. Hyperemesis gravidarum is very serious, but few doctors have heard of it or studied it, so women are being told to tough it up. My daughter was told to stop feeling sorry for herself, and 4 OBGYNs had no clue what she was suffering from. That is appalling with today's medical knowledge.

All McNuggets not created equal
All McDonald's nuggets are not created equal.
U.S. McNuggets not only contain more calories and fat than their British counterparts, but also chemicals not found across the Atlantic.
CNN investigated the differences after receiving a blog comment asking about them.
American McNuggets (190 calories, 12 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat for 4 pieces) contain the chemical preservative tBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleum-based product. They also contain dimethylpolysiloxane, "an anti-foaming agent" also used in Silly Putty.
By contrast, British McNuggets (170 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat for 4 pieces) lists neither chemical among its ingredients.
"I would certainly choose the British nuggets over the American" says Ruth Winter, author of "A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives."
McDonald's says the differences are based on the local tastes: In the United States, McNuggets are coated and then cooked, in the United Kingdom, they are cooked and then coated. As a result, the British McNuggets absorb less oil and have less fat.
"You would find that if you looked at any of our core food items. You'd see little, regional differences," says Lisa McComb, who handles global media relations for McDonald's, which has more than 32,000 restaurants in 117 countries. "We do taste testing of all our food items on an ongoing basis."
One apparent difference is only a matter of labeling, according to McComb. U.K. McNuggets list ground celery and pepper, which are labeled simply as "spices" in the United States, she says.
Marion Nestle, a New York University professor and author of "What to Eat," says the tertiary butylhydroquinone and dimethylpolysiloxane in the McNuggets probably pose no health risks. As a general rule, though, she advocates not eating any food with an ingredient you can't pronounce.
Dimethylpolysiloxane is used as a matter of safety to keep the oil from foaming, McComb says. The chemical is a form of silicone also used in cosmetics and Silly Putty. A review of animal studies by The World Health Organization found no adverse health effects associated with dimethylpolysiloxane.
TBHQ is a preservative for vegetable oils and animal fats, limited to .02 percent of the oil in the nugget. One gram (one-thirtieth of an ounce) can cause "nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse," according to "A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives."
In 2003, McDonald's launched smaller, all-white-meat McNuggets after a federal judge dubbed the food "a McFrankenstein creation of various elements not utilized by the home cook." Among the ingredients that remained in the new McNuggets: tBHQ and dimethylpolysiloxane.
Christopher Kimball, the founder and publisher of Cook's Illustrated magazine and host of the syndicated cooking show America's Test Kitchen, says he suspects these chemicals are required for the nuggets to hold their shape and texture after being extruded into nugget-shaped molds.
"The regulations in Europe, in general, around food are much stricter than the U.S.," Kimball says.

Several big developments have taken place in the fledgling commercial space industry this past week, with big news from both SpaceX and Sierra Nevada Corporation, the builders of the Dream Chaser reusable winged vehicle.
SpaceX sells their first heavy lifter
SpaceX announced yesterday that it had signed its first launch contract for the Falcon Heavy, a vehicle that's still under development. The company plans to test the new heavy-lift rocket later this year.
The Falcon Heavy is essentially three Falcon 9 rockets ganged together to create the most powerful production rocket since the Saturn V. The launcher's secret is that it cross-feeds fuel and oxidizer from the two side boosters to the center rocket as they ascend. When the two side boosters separate, the center rocket, now basically a single Falcon 9, continues with a full load of fuel and oxidizer.
Falcon Heavy is rated for 53 metric tons of payload to Low Earth Orbit. The advertised price for a Falcon Heavy brings its cost below $1000 per pound, a milestone that has taken on aspects of the holy grail within the launch industry. SpaceX has already planned for all three lower stages of the Falcon Heavy to be reusable, which would reduce the price even further.
The new contract is with Intelsat, the world's largest satellite company, and represents a major victory for the young launch provider. Intelsat began as a consortium of 11 countries in 1964, cooperating to build a satellite communications network in geosynchronous orbit. The consortium grew to over 100 countries over the next forty years, and was finally privatized in 2001, keeping the name Intelsat as its corporate title.
Neither company has announced which satellite will travel aboard a Falcon Heavy; although Intelsat has several candidates in its pipeline. Intelsat likes to split backup satellites between different launch providers; it remains to be seen whether SpaceX's markedly lower prices will affect Intelsat's launch calculus.
Dragon packed and ready to go home early
NASA TV will begin coverage tonight at 2:30 AM Eastern Time of the departure of the SpaceX Dragon from the International Space Station. Although the Dragon spacecraft was originally slated for an 18-day first mission, the unpacking and repacking process has gone more quickly than expected. Dragon is now ready to begin its swift journey home. The reusable capsule is due to splash down in the Pacific Ocean Thursday morning not very far from the coast of California. From there Dragon will be brought back to the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, where it will be cleaned up and given a new disposable heat shield for its next re-entry. The "trunk", Dragon's unpressurized section, will separate from the spacecraft and burn up in the upper atmosphere.
According to a NASA press brief, Dragon is bringing home a toolbox, fluid modules, stowage trays, cables, a keyboard and data recordings from experiments conducted aboard the Station. Other returns include parts from various experiments and cartridges from investigations done on metal rods in the Material Science Research Rack. NASA has not stated where all the dirty laundry, a serious matter aboard a space station, will go.
Dragon's return capability is key not only for cargo but for humans. Not counting this demonstration flight, two cargo Dragons will fly in each of 2012, 2013 and 2014, giving SpaceX at least seven cargo Dragon flights and twenty Falcon 9 flights before 2015. SpaceX's President, Gwynne Shotwell, stated in the pre-launch press conference that the company hopes to have manned Dragons launching by early that year.
Dream Chaser takes its first test flight
Sierra Nevada Corporation's air tests of its Dream Chaser crew vehicle would normally have received top billing this week had they not been slightly overshadowed by all the (admittedly historic) Dragon hoopla. According to an article at Parabolic Arc (with great video), residents of Jefferson County near Denver were treated to the sight of a Sikorsky Sky Crane flying the Dream Chaser test hardware above the Broomfield airport on Tuesday. The tests were being done in anticipation of Dream Chaser's Free Flight Tests later this year.
SNC announced yesterday that Dream Chaser had completed four more of its CCDev2 (Commercial Crew Development Round 2) milestones. The four milestones included testing of the Separation System that releases Dream Chaser from its Atlas V booster, Main Landing Gear Drop Testing, Captive Carry Interface Testing, and the captive carry flight test readiness review, the carrying aircraft in this case being the sky crane. Evidently after the Captive Carry FTRR Sierra Nevada didn't waste any time getting the bird into the air. Dream Chaser will soon complete its 18 milestones for this round of NASA's Commercial Crew competition. The last test is an optional Milestone 19, a free flight from a carrier aircraft.
The reusable Dream Chaser has the unique ability to return injured astronauts at low accelerations back from a space station. The spacecraft is a reincarnation of NASA's HL-20 crew vehicle, repackaged with SNC's hybrid rocket system and modernized electronics. Dream Chaser has blown through its milestones fairly quickly, garnering fans not only for its safety and reusability, but also for its mini-Shuttle-like appearance.

- You can completely delete your information at any time. Deletion will be initiated immediately, and your information will be purged from your account shortly thereafter. Additional backup copies of deleted information may persist for a short time. Ambra Health will not retain your information once deleted.

An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data, should direct a query to email@example.com. If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
- Per the California Consumer Privacy Act, California Citizens have the right to request, modify, or delete the data Ambra has collected. In general, the non-protected health information is discussed within this privacy policy in the "How Ambra Health uses your information" section. Ambra allows users equal service and price even if you exercise your privacy rights. For more information on your data or to exercise your rights, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 888-587-2280. As Ambra Health stores, displays, and transfers protected health information that is governed by the privacy, security, and breach notification rules issued by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Parts 160 and 164 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, established pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Availability Act of 1996, all data that is collected by a covered entity is not subject to this act [ CCPA 1798.145 (c)].

Sharing your information with people and services you trust
This section is specific to Ambra Health® products:
- If you share your information with others, you can view a list of who has access to your information and you can revoke sharing privileges at any time. When you revoke someone's ability to read your health information, that party will no longer be able to read your information, but may have already seen or may retain a copy of the information.
- You can approve access for some of these service providers to view and copy your health information. If a service provider accesses your health information and stores a copy of your information, that copy will be governed by that service provider's privacy policy. Others at that facility – like an on-call doctor – may be able to view your information. Ambra Health is not responsible for the content, performance, or privacy policies of third-party service providers.
- Some of these third-party service providers will be covered by federal and state health privacy laws (such as the Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or "HIPAA"), and those laws will govern how they may use and share your information. HIPAA requires (as does Ambra Health) that you must authorize these providers to send information to your Ambra Health account. With that authorization, you also give them permission to send certain especially sensitive types of health information (such as mental health or substance abuse records) that are protected by federal and state laws and require special authorization. When you ask Ambra Health to send your health information to others, you will also be giving Ambra Health permission to send those sensitive types of health information.
- All entities or business associates covered by HIPAA are contractually required to comply with HIPAA's rules related to collection, use, and sharing of your information. All other third-party service providers are contractually required to abide by the Ambra Health Developer Policies, which require that they comply with strict privacy standards for how they collect, use, or share your information.
- Ambra Health's accountability for personal data of EU and Swiss individuals that it receives under the Privacy Shield Framework and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, Ambra Health remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that it engages to process the personal data on its behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Ambra Health proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

This processing is based upon your consent as a subject, and can be withdrawn at any time by contacting Ambra Health Customer Service at firstname.lastname@example.com.

EU-US and Swiss Privacy Shield
Ambra Health complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework ("Privacy Shield") and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union member countries and Switzerland to the United States. Ambra Health has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability.
On July 16, 2020 the EU-US Privacy Shield was struck down by the European Court of Justice. The ruling does not stop data transfers between the EU and the US, as the court upheld the use of standard contractual clauses to allow specific consent for such transfers. Ambra Health rigorously maintains any and all data protection practices in place prior to July 16, 2020. In keeping with the US Department of Commerce Guidance published on the same day, Ambra Health continues to be a participant in the program and fully complies with Privacy Shield obligations.
The Ruling from the European Court of Justice does not impact the Swiss-US Privacy shield, with which Ambra Health continues to fully comply.
If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
